VA SUBCON Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to create and maintain a database of small businesses certified by the Small Business Administration as owned and controlled by veterans. The database would separate businesses owned by veterans with service-connected disabilities from those owned by other veterans. Businesses in mentor-protege programs or joint ventures, and businesses without at least two past prime contracts rated "Satisfactory" or better, would be left out. Large businesses bidding on VA contracts could use the database to write their small business subcontracting plans. The VA would report to Congress within 180 days of creating the database, must use existing staff and funds, and the requirement would end on December 31, 2028.
